2 years later

It took a long while for Kawamatsu to recover from the shock.

"Are you kidding me, it's just one strike and I'm defeated!" He didn't even want to pull himself out of the ground and continued to doubt life, "I can't believe I couldn't even see how that creepy guy did it, is this, like, the world of the strong?"

"If we add that monster-like cockwire, a ship with two such powerful characters appearing one after the other, is this the bottom of the most powerful marine?"

On the other side, the warship.

"Oh yo yo, that was scary, almost had that samurai cut my leg off!" Borsalino said with a look of "robbery after robbery".

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Hiyori mumbled a small milky sound before bawling, "Kawa ... was killed, father was killed!"

No matter how mature she was, she couldn't overcome her fears when faced with such a scene.

"What a pain in the ass!" Borsalino turned his helpless eyes to Longinus, asking him to punch people and pretend and all that, but let's forget about things like comforting children.

"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Borsalino has control of his powers, your father is fine." Longinus crouched down and gently touched the loli's head reassuringly.

"Really ... really?" The little loli rubbed her eyes and got choked up.

"Don't worry, I'll have the boat sailed over."

"Ummmm!"

Soon, a wretched Kawamatsu returned to the warship and said, half embarrassed and half admiring, "It was me who was sitting on the well, I didn't expect Boro-sama's strength to be so strong!"

Borsalino's mouth twitched slightly, searching for whether he had just done it too lightly.

"That's for sure." Longinus smiled, "Vice-Admiral Borsalino is one of the top ranked strongest men in the Marine, even if you look at the entire world, it would be hard to find a few people stronger than the Vice-Admiral."

"Hiss!" Kawamatsu couldn't help but take a deep breath; he was only the ranked strongman of the Wano Country, but the other party was the ranked strongman of the entire world; the difference was naturally self-evident.

It was just that this creepy guy was so shameless; he was so weak and helpless when he was so strong; he was so shameless to act like a strong man.

In this regard, it turns out that the Cockwire is still a lot better, strong, and graceful; sooner or later can screw over that pouncing pineapple(boro) to succeed in the top.

So it's better to follow this one if possible.

Borsalino naturally didn't know how Kawamatsu slandered him and cheerfully exclaimed to each other commercially, "My strength at this point is nothing, if it were Commodore Longinus, I have no doubt he could beat you up worse."

The corner of Kawamatsu's mouth twitched madly; this creepy guy, he sure was annoying!

Amid this "laughter", the warship sailed out of the fog and returned to the G2 branch.

Although he knew that the little girl and the idiot samurai's history was probably not simple, in the spirit of the principle that more is better than less, Borsalino pretended that he knew nothing about it.

Kawamatsu, on the other hand, took Hiyori to work under Longinus, which he did, and two years passed.

...

The year is 1505 of the Age of the Kaien.

Marine base in Alabasta.

"Commodore-nii, Commodore-nii." The silvery voice came from afar, and the captains who came and went from the base did not scold her for her noisy noise. Instead watched the scene with smiles on their faces.

Let's say that in this world of poker faces, a cute, sunny little girl is more likely to be loved wherever she goes.

In the office on the topmost floor, Longinus was flipping through a newspaper, "What can I do for you, Sumire?"

"Commodore-nii, it is an invitation sent to you by King Cobra."

The little girl was taller than she had been two years ago, but at eight, she still wasn't as tall as the table in front of Longinus, and it took a lot of tiptoeing to get the letter to the table.

"Oh? Invitations?" Longinus grabbed the letter with one hand and patted the little loli on the head with the other, praising, "Thank you, Sumire."

Sumire raised her head slightly as if she was a puppy that had received a compliment, "It's nothing!"

On the other hand, Longinus opened the letter and read it, smiling a little while before saying, "So I was invited to Vivi's birthday party?"

"Wouldn't a phone call be enough for this sort of thing?" Longinus said, shaking his head.

"This means that King Cobra values you very much Commodore-nii!" Sumire said with pride.

When she first learned that these kings in the outside world were so respectful to the Commodore, she was shocked and that she, who could only be considered a fallen princess, was far from these kings in status.

Of course, that was why she was unaware of the vast gap that existed between kingdoms.

"By the way, where's your father?"

"Father-sama is still hunting pirates and hasn't returned." Sumire said crisply.

"Well, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave you here alone." Longinus nodded, "Call Drake and let's get a few of us going."

...

New World, on an island.

"Damn it, damn it." Doflamingo sat on the straw pile in an abysmal state, ultimately losing his previous demeanor, "How many times has this happened, is it over or not? Those guys, do they really want to force me to die with them?"

"Doffy, don't be impulsive." Trebol leaned in close to him, almost on the verge of rubbing snot into Dofamingo's face, "You were born to be king, destined to ascend to the throne, and all of this is just a small hindrance before you become king!"

"Yes! Doffy!" Pica said in a high-pitched voice, "Isn't that how it's written in those knight novels? The prince went through countless hardships and finally succeeded ... in marrying back the princess!"

Doflamingo twitched his lips; what kind of bullshit ending is this?

But being so disturbed by him, Doflamingo calmed down, "It wasn't just us, but the family, and the secret men I sent out, all of them were attacked."

"Should I say, what a joint marine and government operation?"

"Doffy, there's something weird going on here!"

"Weird? It's nothing more than my actions being discovered." Dover smiled grimly, "You were indeed right two years ago, I underestimated the government scum, I didn't think there was anything more to their brains than Jinx."

"I have to look up to them now, too, fuffuffuffu!"

"Doffy, so what do we do now?"

"Playing the good boy for a while, anyway, they won't hold it against me until the last step." Doflamingo stood up and looked out to the sea through the jungle. "As for the ancient weapons, this reaction of theirs backfired and convinced me even more of their presumption."

"So, I've made a deal with some tricky guy who will take care of everything for me."
